Trailerama: Die Fremde (When We Leave)

Germany’s Turkish community is the setting for this family drama. Umay (Sibel Kekilli) has fled her husband in Istanbul and taken their son Cem with her to Berlin. However, her family there is unable to accept that she’s walked out of her violent marriage. When they threaten to send Cem back to Turkey, Umay takes drastic action. Kekilli made the difficult leap from porn to Bambi-award-winning actress with Fatih Akin’s Head-On.
